Have Lunch Today at Browntrout

We’re going to reiterate Time Out Chicago’s impassioned plea that people go eat lunch at Browntrout — which launched midday service last Friday to almost zero turnout. We’re particularly charmed by the restaurant’s well-edited selection of options: five sandwiches that they’ve creatively termed the “Browntrout 5”: a lake trout Cosby sandwich, a 6oz tallgrass beef burger, a falafel pita, an egg-salad sandwich, and an apple-cheddar grilled cheese. For those not in a sandwich mood, they’re also offering up a caesar salad (with or without chicken), and all lunch options come with a choice of soup (today’s is potato-leek), salad, or waffle fries. And they’re open for lunch, oh, right this very second.
